Hosea 10:1-3
New King James Version
Israel’s Sin and Captivity
10 Israel (A)empties his vine;
He brings forth fruit for himself.
According to the multitude of his fruit
(B)He has increased the altars;
According to the bounty of his land
They have embellished his sacred pillars.
2 Their heart is (C)divided;[a]
Now they are held guilty.
He will break down their altars;
He will ruin their sacred pillars.
3 For now they say,
“We have no king,
Because we did not fear the Lord.
And as for a king, what would he do for us?”

7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off
Like a twig on the water.
8 Also the (A)high places of [a]Aven, (B)the sin of Israel,
Shall be destroyed.
The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars;
(C)They shall say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He (B)comes and rains righteousness on you.
